We are all made in God's image. Perfectly crafted and molded with precision detail. No two of us are exactly alike and We are all made in God's image.

Genesis 1:27   We are ALL already perfect in God's eyes. A Masterpiece actually …

Verse 3 tells us: "Through Faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear". Even Jesus had His Faith tested by the devil in the …

 "I'll ask Daddy" he will know what to do!  Every father has heard these words before. Our kids trust us unconditionally and they depend on us to help them navigate through this world with all its twists and turns.  We won't have all of the answers in life for our children and we will surely make many mistakes. We were never issued an instruction manual for raising children and the advice from others is usually not as helpful as we would like.  People have their own i …

Flowers given as gifts convey many different meanings.  In Victorian times, certain flowers had specific meanings because the flower selection was limited and people used more symbols and gestures to communicate than words.

The mourners honored the fallen by placing flowers on their graves. On the first Decoration Day in 1868, over 5,000 participants decorated over 20,000 Union and Confederate graves buried in Arlington National cemetery. What a sight that must have been! In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson's Administratio …
